You can’t even get general admission tickets anymore?

Looks like they'll be taking our money on the secondary market. Nothing new given the makeup of the UNC BOG.

I'll repost here from the ticket thread just incase

"I need like 6-12 tickets, lol. I know that's not realistic, we'll split up if needed. Don't care where they are, will raise hell from any section. Whole stadium will be "the App section"

Before we spend too much time and energy congratulating ourselves on the sellout, let's remember that it's their family weekend as well. Family weekend at any school, including App, is usually a big draw for parents who want to check in on their students and have a fun fall weekend. I'm sure we'll have plenty of fans there. I'm also sure there will be plenty of Carolina parents and families in attendance.

Go App!

This is what a sellout crowd at UNC looks like.

It didn't come close to a sellout.

It didn’t sell out at all, actually. UNC’s 2018 Family Weekend was against Pitt and had an announced attendance of 44k (out of 51k).

I don’t expect us to outnumber their fans, but if we have less than 10k there I will be shocked. Personally, I’m hoping for 15k.

I have a kid at UNC and went to family weekend last year. It was horribly attended. Picture above might even be last year's family weekend. That said, there will be plenty of tickets available you will just need to look for them. Craigslist, Stubhub, etc. scalp at gate, etc.

This game sold out so quickly because App fans AND UNC fans, who are more interested in their Heels facing our iconic national football brand than Clemson or arch-rival Duke, flooded the ticket office. No one buys tickets for Family Weekend in June the first moment tickets go on sale.

It's UNC's most expensive ticket on the secondary market, rivaled only by Clemson.

That is an extremely conservative estimate, IMO. I bet we end up with close to 50/50, especially if they pick up a few early losses to USC and WF

I had some friends who went to that one, and as we were at another outdoor activity that morning, I remember that it was a pretty brutally hot day. That definitely kept some fans home and caused others to leave early.

Here's hoping for an evening kickoff and/or unseasonably mild (and clear) weather.

I’ve been to several family weekends at UNC over the years unfortunately, no they’re not usually well attended. Parents go to town but not the football game. Congratulate away App fans.

Having had a daughter graduate from UNC I can testify to Daphne's comments...

Could be excitement of having a new coach that the rank and file Carolina fan loved....

Replace App with any other G5, including those in-state and this thread never exists on other message boards. App State is coming to town to cover that ugly ass blue with some nice black and gold.
